A lovely cottage on beautiful grounds. My wife and I went along with our 2 children; we loved our weekend there. The Bluebell pub is very nice and a very short walk from the property. We also tried the Brownlow Inn which is also nice especially if you like steak. We drove out to Wincle for a great walk out amongst the sheep; beginning and ending at The Ship Inn. We loved our weekend break and would highly recommend this cottage.

Richard's cottage is in a lovely area and was a welcome stop on our long journey through England. He is very near for help when needed and the accommodation was clean and exactly as represented.

Sandy2017-05-16T00:00:00Z

Lovely cottage, peaceful location, good communication from Richard.

Julie2017-03-18T00:00:00Z

Great accommodation - really tidy and spacious, the space in the cottage works well and the second bedroom upstairs is much bigger than I expected. Brilliant quiet countryside location, feels very secure and the Brownlow Inn, which we found does really good food, is within walking distance. Richard was very helpful and quick to reply when we contacted him. Would definitely stay again if I was in the area.

Becca2017-03-29T00:00:00Z

Fantastic place, great price and warm hosts!

Joshua2017-02-26T00:00:00Z

Beautifully appointed apartment in a lovely rural location. Thanks Richard for a great stay.

Paul2017-04-01T00:00:00Z

A lovely cottage with great access to the peak district. It's more spacious than the photos suggest! Richard was very helpful, and I would recommend the food at the brownlow inn!

The house is in a small quiet village,it is very peaceful and relaxing ,Mow Cop is 1100 feet above sea level so has lovely views, across the Cheshire plain to the west and the Staffordshire moorlands to the east.
You will be assured a warm welcome, the place is quiet and peaceful and the room spacious with lovely views.

Spacious room with ensuite bathroom. Large comfortable bed, tv and tea making facilities. Lovely views.
Additional room available on request.

Mow Cop is right on the border between Staffordshire and Cheshire. It is well known for its castle and amazing views, on a clear day you can see the Welsh hills. It is 24 miles from Manchester and 6 miles from the Potteries, the world capital of ceramics It is a ten minute drive to the M6.
It is near to several National Trust properties, also Jodrell Bank and the Trentham estate. For walkers it is on the walking route of the Cheshire Gritstone trail and close to the Staffordshire moorlands and the Peak District national park.
In the potteries there are several museums and visitor centres with world renowned collections and more than 20 factory shops including Royal Doulton, Wedgwood, Moorcroft and Portmerion.

Lovely room with very nice en-suite ... extremely comfortable bed. Stunning views from the back of the house (including guest room.) Carole made us very welcome and we felt 'at home', with freedom to use the sitting room, dining room and kitchen. We are not dog lovers, generally speaking, but Carole's dogs are very well behaved. It was a bonus to relax with a glass of wine and a chat at the end of the day - Carole is an interesting lady! We would recommend highly ... and would happily book again.

We stayed at Judy's cottage for one night during a break from a busy few weeks at work and it was just what we needed. Judy greeted us upon arrival and was very helpful showing us around the cottage. Just as described, the stay provided us with a calm and private break and the house and surroundings are even more picturesque than the images suggest! Strongly recommend this listing to anyone who is wanting a relaxing getaway! Thanks Judy.

Ryan2015-09-11T00:00:00Z

The cottage was really nice!!! Calm and peaceful, surrounding spacious fantastic english garden, sheep. The host, Judy was really friendly and accessible. We hadamazing farm-raised hen's eggs. Definately we wouls like to visit again for a longer stay. Thank you so much Judy!

Sohyun2015-06-01T00:00:00Z

Judy and Brian are wonderful hosts, there if you need them, helpful and interesting about the property and the area.

Tania2016-04-17T00:00:00Z

We arrived late afternoon and were warmly welcomed by Brian and Judy and their two lovely dogs. We were shown to the Cottage which is set in a beautiful garden in a quiet location. The Cottage was warm and welcoming and there were eggs etc left ready for our morning breakfast. We lit the stove and settled in. Everything was clean and tidy in preparation for our stay. After three nights we reluctantly had to return to the real world and leave behind the Cottage but hopefully will return in warmer weather to be able to enjoy the setting better.

Andrew2015-10-22T00:00:00Z

Judy and Brian were great hosts. Brian greeted us when we arrived and gave us some eggs from the farm, bread and butter. The cottage was really nice and cozy and was heated by a stove. The patio overlooking the pond was great to sit at in the morning sun and we even got to feed the sheep at the farm. Overall, I definitely recommend the cottage as a place to stay if you're visiting the area!

Romantic cottage for two with quirky details - pictures don't reveal all the design surprises. Bedroom with 4 poster bed and balcony with views towards the hills.Real fire in the cocktail sitting room. Real ale pub nearby. Perfect for the Potteries and Stoke-on-Trent, lovely Staffordshire and Peaks walks, and Leek market town close by. As it is where we live, availability is limited, usually to about one weekend a month but always worth asking for dates.

I don't know if there is enough space here to describe how much we enjoyed White elephant Cottage! I have worked in travel for the last 10 years - I have been to and stayed in allot of amazing places - but WOWSERS ... this place is SUPERLATIVE! It is BEAUTIFULLY decorated and Sara's attention to detail is astonishing. She had clear instructions on how to use everything and where everything was, she was proactive in her communication before we got to the cottage and she was generous with anything that was left there. The fire place and the cozy living room were so perfect while it was stormy outside and the bed was super comfortable and warm. It was amazing waking up looking out onto those lovely fields. It is without a doubt the best Air BnB experience that I have had. My only regret is that we do not live in England so that we cannot go more! We wanted to stay longer as we had heard lovely things about the nearby town of Leek and we were both really sad to leave there. This cottage encompasses all of the fantastic things that make Air BnB so unique and such a pleasure to use. In short - I cannot recommend it highly enough! We have told all of our friends and family to go!

We had such a great stay in the cottage. Everything was left beautifully by Sara, and the place is so lovely- beyond our expectations! The kitchen was well equipped and so great to have a fire with plenty of wood left to keep us warm! Great location- 20 mins from Peak District national park and near enough Stoke to access shops etc. Highly recommend!

We had a lovely weekend in Sara's house! Everything in the house is so uniquely decorated you almost feel like you're in a funky museum. We were left with ample firewood and kindling to make several fires - something that was perfect for a rainy night! The bed is super comfortable and has a lovely balcony opposite so you can wake up and really feel like you're in the country. Bathroom is nice and big and the kitchen has everything you need to cook. Sara was very easy to get in touch with as well.

Kelly2016-01-11T00:00:00Z

A very quirky place, the decor was very original and unusual, secluded and quiet, great heating which was great on a cold winter night - an excellent venue.

Charming, 3 storey, beautifully renovated, 1750's stone cottage with breathtaking views. Wincle, on the edge of the Peak District, is an idyllic village base from which to walk and explore or just relax and enjoy the local hospitality.

This unique property, nestled in the Dane Valley, is a 1750's stone cottage with breathtaking views over the river to the wooded escarpment beyond. To the back of the cottage and accessed via steps is a delightful south facing private garden which adjoins farmland, perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine or a pint of the fabulous Wincle beer.
Previously renovated by keen walkers for use as a weekend retreat, the accommodation is presented to a very high standard and extends over three floors. A charming Kitchen/Dining room with beamed ceiling, contemporary units and an oil fired Rayburn forms the ground floor. The first floor has a lovely Lounge with a cast iron log burner as its focal point and completing the layout is a pretty double Bedroom adjoined by a quirky en-suite bathroom. Every room enjoys a fabulous outlook over the valley.
The Ship Inn,moments away, is a truly excellent pub, extremely popular locally and a wonderful, comfortable, friendly place to while away an evening. There is a well established microbrewery and a fishery in the village which are both open to the public if you fancy having a pint and catching a trout for your dinner. As well as being a walkers paradise, this area has an abundance of National Trust properties to explore. For those who fancy a little bit of a pamper, the Mill Wheel Spa, just 8 miles away, provides a unique, relaxing experience which should not be missed.
Despite the rural splendour, this part of the Peak District National Park is within comfortable driving distance of Leek and other centres such as Macclesfield ,Buxton and Congleton which offer a varied range of facilities and exploring opportunities.
This is a truly beautiful place for individuals or couples. Come to walk, relax, unwind or use the cottage as a base to explore.
This is a lovely romantic setting , fabulous for a birthday or an anniversary surprise for someone special.
Please make sure you read the "other things to note section" before you book particularly if you have mobility problems.
Hope to see you soon.

Had a lovely time at Pauline's. Her house is very spacious, exactly as it looks in the photos. There were 4 of us in our party and we all felt very welcomed. Callum especially loved being able to play with Spud, Misty and Tiger! It was nice to be able to stay in someone's home rather than a generic hotel and made for a much more pleasant vacation.

Ian was very helpful in the build up to our stay, a great communicator and a lovely man. When we arrived, we met Angela who was busy baking. She showed us to Otter's Retreat, gave us a quick run through and then wished us a happy stay. Angela is one of those people you just want to give a hug to, a wonderful woman. Freshly baked cake, mulled wine, chocolates and Christmas decorations awaited us, we immediately felt at home. The photographs really don't come close to demonstrating what a beautiful home this is. Clearly a lot of thought and care goes into making everything perfect for each new set of guests. This really is a five star luxury home. The beds are super comfy, the bathrooms are huge, showers hot and spacious, the inglenook fireplace is heavenly. I was slightly worried before arriving that I would struggle to make Christmas dinner for 8. We had family visiting for the day and I wasn't in my own kitchen but I had no reason to worry. Everything I needed could be found, the oven cooked the best Yorkshire puds I've ever made!! The village of wincle is charming. We ate at The Ship a couple of times and found the food and service to be of a high standard and the atmosphere to be very cosy and relaxing. We went to the brewery one evening (on Angela and Ian's recommendation) for a carol service and I'm so pleased we did. Mince pies, mulled wine, live music and a sing along, bliss. Our son turned 3 just a week before our stay and he fell in love with our "holiday house". He managed a walk to the top of Hanging Stone one crisp fresh morning and seemed to spend most of his time standing at the gate outside the house talking and singing to the sheep, who in turn seemed to talk/sing back! Needless to say, we were sad to leave and would love to return another time. Thank again Angela and Ian. Merry Christmas! Hannah, Andrew and Benjamin.

Otters retreat is a truly wonderful cottage, well equipped kitchen and beautifully designed and decorated home. There are some great walks right on the doorstep, and the location is an ideal base if you are looking to go off further a field. The Ship has a fantastic menu with a very warm welcome

Beautiful end terrace house located at the foot of the Cheshire plains and peak district. Ideal place for people wishing to explore the area- we love the great outdoors so happy to advise best places to walk/bike. Guests will have their own access to kitchen, living room area and own private seperate garden to use. We also have a garage should you wish to store bikes etc. Choice of pubs and Tescos within walking distance.

Our house is a 5 bedroom detached property. It has had an extension which makes the area for guests upstairs their own double room, bathroom and small bedroom that has a bunk bed.downstairs there are two gardens so guests can have access to their own outdoor area.they will also have kitchen dining room and living room area to themselves as we will use another living room should guests wish for privacy

You will have amazing privacy, almost feeling like you are in your own little flatlet, and I have to admit, the shower in the wet room is fabulous; it's my preferred shower in the household!
Additionally, our location is really convenient for the train station, town centre and South Park so it is possible to manage with out a car if the locations you wish to reach are in walking distance or easily commuted via taxi.

Ryle's Park Road is a residential road and is named after the Silk Merchant, John Ryle. Ryle's lake and surrounding park land dates back to the 1920s and was acquired on behalf of the people of Macclesfield from the Ryles family. He was adamant that the land should remain as parkland, and not be acquired for housing, To this day that covenant remains.
We are thrilled that John Ryle ensured this requirement was put on the land, as we now have an amazing outlook on to the park, and the Peak District beyond, which will never be spoiled.

Historic Chapel conversion in idyllically peaceful conservation area, on the edge of the Peak National Park.
Nestled in a hamlet in stunning countryside with quaint country pubs, it's imposing yet homely.

A few important quick notes before you read on!
I am happy to help guests plan their stays--for example, many who stay here for the honeymoon night or stag do (yep, they are accepted and have been nice quiet lads so far!) ask me to help with planning activities etc. Not a problem if you need ideas.
I am happy to receive your supermarket shopping before you arrive if you need to order in a home delivery before you get here; it can save the hassle after arrival!
And I happily suss out pubs, restaurants etc for special meals; if you want me to take a look at one, to see if it's suitable for a special celebration and so on, just drop a line. : )
The Chapel accommodates 7 maximum for sleeping but has two double bedrooms only; the additional sleeping space for the three extras is 1) one person on the big sofa and 2) 2 people on the living room day bed if desired (it's a real bed I use as a day bed...nice solid piece).
Just bear in mind, the kitchen is really set up for 4-5. It isn't huge but if you can make do, I have no problem with 7 people coming. It just means you may need to eat out more, as storing food for 7 and prepping meals for 7 could be a bit of a squeeze! The kitchen has a below-counter fridge, not a large one.
The living room –where the sleigh bed and sofa are, for the additional 3 guests if you bring extras who don’t fit in the two double bedrooms – is very light as it is curtain-free (as desired by local planners, this place being a converted Chapel). The room is not overlooked at all though so wandering about in night attire is not a problem!
BEDDING & LINEN: Duvets and towels will be provided for however many book in.
PROPERTY DETAILS
Refurbished, private stone Chapel in a hamlet on the edge of the Peak National Park. Lots of private, off-road parking, secluded and not overlooked.
In a stunning conservation area, Swythamley is one of those rare places where you can forget to lock your doors and car and all will be well!
There's no traffic noise, and a black night sky with twinkling stars and no artificial lighting. In the 15 years I have owned this place and lived here, the only crimes I have been aware of were theft of a garden trough—my fault, I advertised one on ebay and someone came and nicked it…but he travelled all the way from Yorkshire!)—and the occasional stealing of garden tools. This is borne out by the crime statistics; there aren’t any!!
You will wake to silence apart from cows and sheep. "Rush hour" is 5-8 vehicles. In the night, you will hear mostly owls; I often see them fluffed up on fence posts.
We have deer in the area, including a massive stag, and a mad hare. He's huge and digs holes in my driveway to eat the weeds! If you see drive potholes, he is the culprit!
ACCOMMODATION BREAKDOWN
MASTER BEDROOM: Double bed, built-in wardrobes with teak chest of drawers. One big wardrobe has my own clothes in and is sealed up with tape to just show it’a not a guest wardrobe, but the other left-hand wardrobe is huge and empty for you.
Top quality furniture with sleigh bed (note: very tall people...the bed has a wooden footer). Integral dressing area and cosy, modern sitting space in the eaves. Small en-suite shower room with power shower.
BEDROOM 2: double bed and teak chest of drawers; it is a small room. Space restricted with window seat. This is a galleried room but guests have no gallery access (neither do I; the bed is in the way!). Stunning view across rolling park land towards Swythamley Hall.
Opposite the second bedroom is the family bathroom with enamelled bath, basin and bidet, so each bedroom has its own facilities. **This bathroom has no working shower; builders installed a shower without an associated pump so this room is for bathing only. Builders eh...who wants them! : ) **
DOWNSTAIRS: one sleigh bed (again with a footer board) in the living room--use it as a day sofa or as a bed, whatever suits. Plus, one large l-shaped sofa someone can sleep on as desired.
Big CUDDLE CHAIR in the living room; nice swivel chair that seats two. Or three if you’re so inclined!!
KITCHEN: extending table, with chairs provided for however many book in. Microwave. Small oven and hob with three functioning rings.
Small fridge (below counter) and same sized freezer. Sorry no American fridge-freezer…no space! All cutlery and crockery supplied but there will be one of each crockery type per person only, again due to storage space! For example, seven large dinner plates, seven bowls, seven small plates and so on. Doubling up on things would take more wall cupboards than the house fits!
There are lots of mugs and cutlery, also baby/toddler cutlery.
HISTORY
The Chapel was the private place of worship for the Brocklehurst family and belonged to the Swythamley Hall estate.
Swythamley Hall, sited to the rear of the Chapel but only just visible as it's some distance away, began life as a mediaeval hunting lodge belonging to the Abbey of Dieulacres. The Hall was granted to the Traffords by King Henry VIII in 1540 and eventually passed to the Brocklehursts who commissioned the Chapel's construction.
YOUR FUNDS
Every penny is used to restore or enhance the premises. Minor electrical and plumbing work is ongoing but the chapel is fully functioning apart from 'off limits' areas and the odd quirks with lighting. Note comments in the guest manual, regarding the lighting--lights are being upgraded and there are far more switches than lights! Lights that do not work are deliberately so, due to either cost issues with the light fitting or due to restrictions by insurers or Conservation. Gradually and slowly, lights are being replaced.
A few more questions answered:
*Are there areas we cannot access?*
Yes. The basement and belltower are locked, as is the lower garden area by the basement. These areas are unsafe and used for storage of the host’s junk—er, possessions!
One set of wardrobes stores my own clothes while the other (huge) is available for the guests in the master bedroom.
*You say the house needs some repairs. What exactly?*
There may be areas of fresh plastering or painting just done when you arrive. The house is under sonstant maintenance so apologies for any patchy paint!
Also; the electrics in the house are gradually being upgraded to a better system with LED lighting in place of the money-guzzling 400w lights! You will find some light switches do not correlate to lights; this is deliberate while areas are mid-upgrade, but every area has low-energy options if the main lights have been deactivated.
*Can Children Stay?*
They are very welcome and if you need extra help deciding what to do, where to go etc, just ask; I happily help mums and dads plan their trips. E.g. now and then, someone might ask me to order in their shopping ahead or buy a travel cot, or baby nappies etc.
Happy to help, whatever it is you need.
Just bear in mind there is a very high, open staircase and more stairs off the living space; be very vigilant with your kids so nobody gets hurt!
Children older than 'babes in arms' need to be booked in their own right because toddlers mean an increase in insurance (insurer charges me more) and the place is insured on the same tariff as a stately home.
*Is there television?*
No. This is set up as an away-from-it-all not a city pad…! You might even have to talk to each other… ha.
The house has no televisions but there is wifi which streams fine, so bring a laptop and you can watch what you like. I stopped having TV as it never got used and guests say they like coming for the 'away from it all' experience.
If there are several people using wifi, only one or two will get a good video streaming experience -- it will work for everyone while downloading email etc, but we are not on superfast broadband here, so if it seems terrible, it's because everyone is using it all at once!
However, broadband/wi-fi are essential to my business so I always ensure it's working. I hate wi-fi-less places... it's as important to me as oxygen and the first thing I ask about when booking somewhere to stay!
*Can I Bring Pets?*
Email to ask. It depends on the time of year and the guests/pets.
*Can I Invite More Guests (who are not booked in?)*
Book for the right number of people and don’t assume you can sneak people in, ha. It won’t work! External CCTV installed at the insurer’s request monitors numbers of guests arriving. There is only CCTV externally—of course!
*Check-In and Out*
I give a short 'tour' and then give you the key. If I am unable to meet you due to work then I will leave the key. You check out alone and pop the key back, and nobody will bother you during the stay. Check out any time of day or night by placing the key back where you found it.
*Nightly Rates*
I know nightly rates soon add up when you book in extra people. But by booking here, you are getting the whole place, with no hosts hanging about bothering you and no other guests; however, when four or more book, it works out more cost-effective than a budget hotel!
This is your own private retreat and it’s ideal for the anti-social (like me!) and those who really want a fuss-free holiday where they don’t have to explain a thing to anyone.
Rates are calculated on what this “money pit” costs me to let and insure. It is not a holiday home or second home for me; it is MY home and I only let it to help preserve it, as I couldn’t afford the bills otherwise… it’s thanks to airbnb people like you, that I am finally managing to do repairs.
When you book a stay, I have to pay the insurer a per-head fee and also book my own accommodation. The gas (propane) generates bills you wouldn’t imagine. It was £10,000 one year… and I just paid £954 for the last five guest groups’ use of gas!! Electricity is a pain too, hence me changing to LEDs gradually.
If you think I earn handsomely by letting…I just break even. That’s why, unlike some other hosts, I can’t afford to leave fruit baskets, flowers etc… this money pit really takes every penny and greedily gobbles it.
If you have questions please do not hesitate to ask! I am always happy to help guests with anything they need and to try and provide anything that might make your stay more enjoyable.

It's a very safe area and idyllically quiet. I wrote about this in the main description.
Visitors are spoiled for choice for walks, scenery, eateries and places to visit - Buxton is easily accessible but equally the rural villages and pubs are a pleasure and there are plenty of them.
The lanes are popular for running and cycling, and anyone who loves the great outdoors won't be disappointed.
You could not ask for a more relaxing location.
Manchester Airport is an easy run, around 40 minutes away, too.
RECOMMENDED EATING PLACES
My favourite pubs, all of which are gastro pub quality, are:
Ship Inn, Wincle. Tiny coaching inn that serves the locals.
I think especially lovely for lunch when quieter and you can see the Micro-Brewery opposite and the trout farm too. Walkable from the Chapel IF you have good legs but my own preference is to drive to one of the next two pubs as the food is superior. : )
Hanging Gate, Higher Sutton - wonderful local produce especially game. Intimate and tiny. The loo is outside, brrr... bring a jacket! 7-10 minutes drive. You need 4x4 in winter to reach this pub if it's freezing. Try it, it's unmissable!
And my favourite - perhaps a little less atmospheric BUT the most wonderful staff, extensive menu and the food is 'to die for'. Like a steak? This place is a must... but the menu will spoil you, whatever your tastes. This offers the best food of the three local pubs.
This pub is very quiet with mostly middle aged and older diners. 7 minutes drive. Always has tables, will go out of their way for you.

My family and I had a lovely break, made even better by having the opportunity to stay in such a lovely building (which is very nicely furnished), in a beautiful setting. Annie was so friendly and helpful before and when we arrived, making us feel so welcome. The place was well-equipped and very comfortable to be in particularly as the weather was very kind to us. Thank you for the lovely weekend.

Suz2015-04-06T00:00:00Z

The place is stunning ! It's up to very high standards. I couldn't ask for more. House has got everything that is needed. We had a great fun finding the house (that too in dark). I must say that this place has left me with a lifetime experience. I will definitely remember this for many years. Thanks to Annie. Annie was very helpful and reachable. 200% recommended place which will not disappoint you.

Such a fantastic place, made to feel very welcome with nothing being too much trouble. Clean & tidy throughout with everything as described in the description, cannot recommend it enough. Quiet & peaceful with no TV, just nice to sit quietly for a while with just your own thoughts to occupy you!

We spent a very enjoyable 3 nights at the chapel. We found the location suited the needs of 3 boys aged between 13 and 18 years. Walking and mountain biking and good local pubs with great food. The chapel was a really interesting and different place to stay and I think this was the main interest to us and the boys. The lights and furniture added to the ambiance of the property, we loved it.

Cosy double bedroom in Victorian house. Use of family bathroom. Ten minute walk from Macc town, railway & bus stations, 5 minute walk to local cafes.
Please note we do not provide breakfast. We are a 5m walk from 2 local cafés serving breakfast or just 10m walk from Wetherspoons.
Great value place to lay your head for the night. 10m walk from Macc town centre, directly opposite beautiful South Park.
Portable TV, full length mirror, shared use of family bathroom. Tea & coffee making facilities in room. Travel cot available if required.
Towels and guest toiletries provided.
We are in and out of the house all the time, but always on the end of the phone.
Whether visiting family, adventuring in the nearby Peak District, checking out some of the amazing real ale Macc has to offer, paying homage to Ian Curtis (who lived and died in the house opposite), or just here for work, you are guaranteed a friendly welcome here in Cheshire.
Local attractions include:
Walking / climbing in the peaks
Macclesfield's Real Ale Trail
Macclesfield Silk Museum
Jodrell Bank Discovery Centre
as well as a wealth of National Trust properties nearby, and Chatsworth House within an hour's drive.
On the last Sunday of the month, Macclesfield's fantastic 'Treacle Market' is not to be missed!
Shopping can be enjoyed in Manchester (20m by train) or the Trafford Centre (30m by car).
We are on a main bus route, and just a ten minute walk from Macc bus and train stations, with links directly to Manchester and London. 20m drive to Manchester airport, taxis can also be arranged.

If you are part of a larger group wishing to stay together, we can also offer our triple loft bedroom and shower room, separately listed as 'Contemporary loft in Macclesfield'.

Browyn and Tim were excellent hosts, extremely friendly and helpful. They were very generous in every way and went out of their way to make be feel welcome and comfortable. They have a lovely house in a really good location, close to the town centre, bus and train stations.

Diarmaid2016-03-11T00:00:00Z

My girlfriend and I had a very pleasant stay. The room is very comfy, located in a very large, clean and cosy house in Macclesfield, great location if you plan a road trip around the Peak District or the nearby! Bronwyn and her husband made us feel very welcome. Communication prior and during our stay was perfect, and we have even received lovely breakfast in bed. Couldn't recommend this place more! Would stay there over and over again.

Lorenzo2016-07-25T00:00:00Z

Bronwyn was an excellent host and could not have been more helpful. I was given space and privacy but also the local assistance I needed. Breakfast was extremely nice. There's a lovely park a short walk away.

Lyndsey2016-03-04T00:00:00Z

I loved my all but brief stay here. My hosts were welcoming and good company and their early communications with me prior to arrival enabled us to get on when I arrived. The property itself is on a busy main road but there is plenty of on street local parking in the nearby roads which was no issue at all. The House is a family house and my hosts welcomed me into their home and I had a cup of tea in my hand after being shown my room and the facilities. As it was my first time in Macclesfield they provided me with all the local info I needed for the next day. Breakfast was a simple affair and I left well rested and easy for the day. Would I stay again, that's easy, yes I would stay for long than one night if the need arose.

Gavin2015-09-15T00:00:00Z

Brilliant location, lovely home and Bronwyn, Tim and Chet were very welcoming and made me feel really at ease in their home. Definitely rate them highly. Would definitely stay again if I need accommodation in Macclesfield again.

Beth2015-10-17T00:00:00Z

Double / triple room (kingsize bed, plus put-you-up bed for a child if needed) with ensuite bathroom in 200 year old Staffordshire Moorlands farmhouse on a 5 acre smallholding on a west facing hillside, just above the National Trust's Biddulph Grange garden and with stunning views over Congleton Edge and the Cheshire Plain, including Jodrell Bank. In the other direction is Leek and the Peak District.
Self service continental breakfast in beautiful beamed dining room, or while enjoying the view from the terrace if warm.
Sitting room with log burner.
Field with shetland ponies, large veg/fruit and flower garden to explore.
Great area for walkers.
Nearest big shopping/cultural centre is Hanley (Stoke-on-Trent / The Potteries).
Trains to Manchester / Birmingham / London from Congleton station, 3-4 miles away; I can usually pick you up / drop you off.
There is a pub with food in easy walking distance (about a mile. Up hill on the way back!).
Bus stop just a bit further for buses to Congleton & Hanley.
I am a non smoker and have no indoor pets.

Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances, we were unable to meet Joy, but despite this she was very communicative when were we trying to locate the house. The house itself is in a beautiful setting and full of character. It's very much off the beaten track but still within a kilometer of an amazing pub (the Talbot) and a local shop. We enjoyed the walk to the pub through the dark lanes using torches for light. Thank you for hosting us Joy.

Thanks to joy (and egg the cat / Shetlands & G!) for a lovely stay. The bed was very comfortable, breakfast was tasty and joy was very helpful. The shower in the upstairs bathroom was broken but joy was kind enough to allow us to use the one downstairs.

Joy was very welcoming to her lovely and atmospheric house, bringing in a delicious, warm and homemade apple cake when we arrived. Very comfortable bed and what views! It was very interesting to meet and talk to Joy and I would very much recommend staying.

Homely engaged atmosphere where felt at ease, especially near the wood burner. Lovely to meet Joy's and others who were working with her. Great location near woods and walking trails.

Joy is a great host and her farmhouse is lovely! The bedroom is really comfortable with a great view. We really enjoyed our stay!

We had a really lovely time at joys cottage. She has a beautiful home and the views are gorgeous. Despite being secluded and peaceful - there are local pubs v close by and Leek is a great way to spend the afternoon with interesting antique shops and good food. Most of all we did really love how joys home is just that a cosy home which is exactly what we wanted. So much so my five year old son cried when we had to leave! Joy was v helpful and had thought of everything a guest may need including lots of local guides and directions for our first night but most importantly baking a lemon poppy seed cake - v thoughtful. I really can't imagine staying anywhere else if we visit the area again

Very good location and nicely appointed cottage ideal for the 7 of us. The main reason we booked was because of the gorgeous looking photos of the interiors, and it didn't disappoint. Within easy reach of nice walks without having to get into the car again, especially along the canal. Would definitely go again.

Donna arranged for us to kindly stay at this location after a mix up with a booking. We were a mixed party of 7 and there was plenty of room for us all. Places locally to visit and to go out to eat. Lovely cottage to come home too. Home from home as highly equipped. Quiet location but only a few miles from local towns. A good night out in Leek was had!!

Clear communication and a friendly welcome to a nicely decorated and cared for home in an area of exceptional natural beauty. Mike was forthcoming with lots of useful and interesting sightseeing tips

james2016-08-20T00:00:00Z

Great hosts- friendly and helpful. Nice spacious room and a good location for seeing the area.

Teresa2017-04-14T00:00:00Z

What a wonderful place. Just finished our stay here, we were surprised how easy it was to find, warm and comforting with the most wonderful views.Very lovely house with great bathroom absolutely spotless (I'm very fussy) and having breakfast in the farmhouse style kitchen was nice. Will definitely be back, but next time I will stay for longer, bring my hiking boots ( now I have to buy some) and go exploring. Thanks Mike Liz, Fede and family

liz2016-06-25T00:00:00Z

Possibly the best of several stays during our tour of England. Mike's house is spotless, very nicely decorated and situated in spectacular countryside a few yards from an excellent country gastro pub. Mike himself was a great host, friendly but unobtrusive. He puts a great deal of care and thought into making his guests comfortable. He left us everything we needed to make a quick breakfast in the morning before the short drive to Manchester airport. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

Martin2016-08-10T00:00:00Z

Mike was very accommodating to our late arrival, and was a very hospitable host. The place was easy to find and is a perfect location for walking. Mike was also able to offer some suggestions for walks nearby which was appreciated. Thanks!

Sarah2016-10-30T00:00:00Z

At the risk of sounding a little gushing, this was unequivocally a first rate experience. Mike was not only the totally consummate host; puling on his wealth of local knowledge with ideas for our stay and alternative "off-piste" routes, ensuring that all the expectations regarding practical aspects were addressed , he also imbued the whole stay with fun and a generosity of spirit. The area is beautiful and Mike's place is sublime. We completely intend to return.

Ian2016-08-26T00:00:00Z

Very kind host, he allowed us to use the whole house. Very nice rural area and a pub with very good food at a minutes walk.
